haha ok so when viewing the image on the computer and not my phone it's fairly obvious what Trevor is. Any ideas of figures then MH?

It's too early to give you anything concrete, and I'm sworn to secrecy. Andrew will reveal all shortly and I don't want to steal his thunder. It's all good though.

Fair enough mate. You still after a few VCDS tweaks? Have to rearrange a meet up if you are.

It's about time I introduced Trevor to you all.



Trevor has been in the pipeline for a while and will be officially launched later this month, but is currently available for any GT/GTD owner  with the latest 150/184ps TDis

Well post more details at a later date, but basically this new updated system comes with 3 programmes rather than 4, and has a push button keypad to make any adjustments.

We did conduct some dyno tests last Saturday when it was rather warm..



The CRDT produced 229bhp and 499nm, several minutes later "Trevor" produced 239bhp and 515nm using the same software.

We've been testing this kit for a  while and have several 184 owners running this kit and the feedback has all been positive.

As previously mentioned, this kit is now available to members of the forum but not on general release til later this month.

Pleased to meet you Trevor. Hopefully, sometime after I pick up my gtd on 11th august we can get properly acquainted.

Any ideas on price difference yet?

I've comprehensively tried out all the settings to give Andrew my opinion on each, and as my new box is set up, 3+1 is the clear winner for driving feel, smoothness across the range, responsiveness in mid and high load, and mpg. I believe Andrew has made tweaks to the maps based on mine and a few other's recommendations, and the settings on mine in 3+1 will be the new 3+2. Being able to change the maps at the press of a few buttons rather than removing the box from the car and opening it up to make changes is very handy.

You can feel that the new 3+1 (3+2) is a bit more powerful than the old box on 4+1.

Unlike the mapping options, being able to whip this off the car in 5 mins for warranty and servicing is a real plus. Mine is in for it's first service on Monday.

If purchased before the official launch the price is the same Kyle, £365.95 imc vat carriage and the £80 forum discount

Cheers for pricing info.

Is 4+1 still the way to go on the 'old' box? I haven't tried any other settings :/
